Contributing

If you have a usage question pertaining to the Mapbox Navigation SDK for Android, or any of our other products, contact us through our support page.

If you want to contribute code:

  1. Ensure that existing pull requests and issues don’t already cover your contribution or question.

  2. Add an SDK_REGISTRY_TOKEN gradle property or env variable with a secret token. The token needs to have the DOWNLOADS:READ scope. You can obtain the token from your Mapbox Account page.

  3. Add your public token to examples/src/main/res/values/mapbox_access_token.xml to be able to run the test app. The file will be automatically generated when you sync the project with gradle. You can obtain the token from your Mapbox Account page.

  4. Pull requests are gladly accepted. If there are any changes that developers should be aware of, please update the change log

  5. Mapbox uses checkstyle and ktlint to enforce good code standards. Make sure to read the codestyle setup. CI will fail if your PR contains any mistakes.

  6. All contributions require acceptance of the Mapbox ToS. For the full license terms, please see the Mapbox Terms of Service at https://www.mapbox.com/legal/tos/.

Adding or updating a localization

The Mapbox Navigation SDK for Android features several translations contributed through Transifex. If your language already has a translation, feel free to complete or proofread it. Otherwise, please request your language so you can start translating. Note that we’re primarily interested in languages that Android supports as system languages.

While you’re there, please consider also translating the following related projects:

Once you’ve finished translating the Android navigation SDK into a new language in Transifex, open an issue in this repository asking to pull in your localization. Or do it yourself:

  1. (First time only.) Download the tx command line tool and configure your .transifexrc.
  2. Run tx pull -a to fetch translations from Transifex. You can restrict the operation to just the new language using tx pull -l xyz, where xyz is the language code.
  3. Commit any new files that were added and open a pull request with your changes.
